A review by lattelibrarian
Surrender by Sonya Hartnett
4.0
I read this book for our deconstruction theory unit in our critical theory class, and I can see why. Told from two perspectives, this book gives a unique point of view of what it means to be good and what it means to be bad. The characters were dynamic, always flawed and always moving forward in their own way.
However, on the back of this book, it's deemed as a psychological thriller--and I agree with that, but as someone who's read quite a bit of horror and psychological thrillers, I guessed the plot twist very early on. But, I'm 23, so the intended audience may not have as much experience as I do with that genre. So therefore, this book is a good place to start.
There's a good play on words in this novel and play on perspective. I'd definitely want to reread this just so I can get a better understanding of just what these characters did and are doing, and just how exactly their minds operate.
